Does the bar swing around so the dog can go on either side of the bike when he wants to? Is there a way to "fix" it so it doesn't swing?

It does swing around and there is no way to prevent it. The cord also snap during the first use.

Yes it does, add a pin so I can change witch side I can stop my dog from going to

The bar does swing around so the dog can go on either side of the bike. The dog won't be able to go any further forward than your pedals on both sides of the bike. I'm not aware of anyway to make the bar static, but then I've never tried. My dog stays on my right side most of the time which puts her away from traffic.

yes it swings to either side. There isn't a way to adjust to one side. As my dogs run, they don't usually do that, they're focused.

There is an optional little plastic stop that goes on the top and bottom. This is designed to limit the direction but if you don't put it in, it can swing freely in both directions. The only thing you'd have to be aware of is additional door trim that might get in the way.

The bar that runs across the top of the cover doesn't attach to the cover. You just flip the cover over the bar.

It can do one bike which has one bar, a left side and right side.Hope this helps

Yes, the tow bar I received with my stroller appears to be totally reversable.... can be positioned on the right or the left of a bike wheel. It is a very, very nice stroller...very good quality. I can send you pictures of the tow bar attached to the stroller in both positions if that would help.

It can lift both ends of the bike off the ground. Stability with my Valkyrie was good but I'd still feel better tying off the bars somehow, either from above, like from the rafters or to ground anchors. In other words, if you had it jacked up it wouldn't take too much to knock it over though if not bumped it would stay there forever, I think.

Yes. Mine constantly swings til I turn it off. Try to put it on the other speeds first the turn it on a faster one. If you get in an in between spot on the speeds it could stop. I have had similar problems with a full size swing I bought somewhere else.

When i first started using this rack I had to re-tighten the Allen screws that hold it to the bike a few times...I noticed if I got too much speed downhill or in the wind the rack could move causing an imbalance...once I got it adequately tighened down I havent had this problem.

While I haven't fallen while riding my bike with the leash attached, I could speak to something close. I got off the bike to pick up after my dog, and once or twice my bike has fallen over while he's still attached. He wasn't struck by the bike falling over in either direction - the leash body is long enough that he was still away from it. Same thing happens if you were to just lay your bike down - there's room for your dog to still be clear.This thing really does work great.

The bar does not swing at all. You may make modifications that would allow this but unless your handy with projects - stay away. The rack is light and very sturdy and fits in to the trailer easily. I did have to buy a locking mechanism as the rack doesn't come with a lock that'll keep the rack in place. My wife and I have logged over 500 miles on our bikes and the rack has stood firm the entire way. Happy trails.

Maria...Is this happening on turns? If so it is because as you make the corner your handlebars turn and ultimately 'dip' as you go through the corner. That feature doesn't have an option to enable/disable. You'd think the folks that design these things would think beyond the dashboard and consider it may be mounted on a bicycle, motorcycle, or something. I'm guessing by now you've found a better solution, but if not...just don't make turns...lol.

I ran into this issue, I laid the bike on the side, connected the computer part and put in the line into the opening below so it had grabbed, pulled on the bar to be connected to the bike and it expanded the wire and fit into place, then I held both put the bike up right and got the bar into position.It does release but you need to a little muscle and can't be afraid about the wire snapping, it does expand though. It's the hardest part of the assembly, the tension bar.

I havnt thought of that. But I can see that working.I don't have any way to do that with my so I'm going to get another one to expand my space. And my dogs love it. . It gets them outdoors. The only problem I have is a way to secure it to the ground. Glad to help you out. Nickie

The bar will only attach one way onto the wheel. It cannot be reversed to attach to opposite side of wheel.

Kind of. The larger part of it is, but there are two spokes that will stick out always as they're fused to the metal rim. My daughter doesn't use the bar so we have it facing the wall. And when she does okay with it in an open space, she likes to go in and out of it, like an additional play thing!

YES! It's totally annoying. I assembled it correctly. The only solutions are A) lock the wheels--but then it's practically impossible to control/maneuver the stroller or B) add more weight to the front of the stroller-or have your dog sit near the front, or C) add another dog to your stroller. All options are out for me, and probably you, too. So, my last resort was to put a thicker crate pad down to absorb the shakiness so my dog won't be as annoyed as I am!!

Yes, door swing controls bar placement. Grips will door opposite door swing, back support will go swing side. Back support centers door frame so fits swing side but side bars would hit door as to reason it goes opposite swing. Hope explains well enough.
